Tick tock. Tick tock.

WAITNG. I feel as though that's all I do. Waiting for this doctor's appointment or that test to come and go. Then there is the waiting for results and in some cases, some doctors think so little of YOUR time even though you spent an hour just waiting past your appointment to see him that they make you schedule an office appointment just to give results they can tell you over the phone. WTF? I know some doctors have a very big sense of over-importance when it comes to themselves and their time, but when is it about the patient? The patient puts in a lot of time. Time waiting, time scheduling, time off unpaid, time stressing, time crying, time hoping, time driving themselves nuts trying to figure out possibilities that the doctor can so easily explain. Why is their time deemed more important than ours? I will never understand this. Why am I ranting over things I cannot change? Well, the simple answer is because its my blog and I can. The more adult answer is because I feel as though I'm spending my life right now waiting. Let me tell you, I've about had enough.

So, speaking of waiting. The husband had an appointment today with the urologist's nurse practitioner just to feel around and tell him he needed an ultrasound. Well thank you very much for that revelation but we already knew this. Why did we not just get one scheduled instead of waiting time? Good question. Luckily, we were able to get in today. Once again, we wait for results. We do know that he still has varicoceles that are of the abnormal size but may be ok for where he is at post-repair (2 months) and that they couldn't see the coils that were inserted during surgery. We are not sure if that is normal or not. When will we know? It could be until next Wednesday for an office appointment with the ever-so-friendly urologist. Or, we may get another doctor to pull through and get those to us before then. Why must it be so difficult to act like you care your patients are going through hell sitting in limbo??
